The megaton hammer is a huge hammer that weighs heavy on the heads of those it hits. Typically, it is either the strongest Hammer or among the top tier.

Appearances

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

The megaton hammer has an Attack bonus of +108, and changes Yangus and Morrie's critical hit rates from 1/64 (normal conditions) and 1/32 (skill trait) to 1/8 when using a normal attack. Though these merits are very impressive, some fans feel that the weapon, and as well as hammers as a whole, play something of a second fiddle to the other metal slime mauling options, as well as having to sacrifice the game's strongest axe to create it.

This latter criticism has been thankfully addressed in the Nintendo 3DS port, wherein an extra conquerer's axe is available and due to Morrie's hammer skills being more useful.
